Many people are looking for sustainable alternatives, such as LastPad, as they become more aware – and worried – about the quantity of waste that enters our landfills each year. LastObject, a firm dedicated to making reusable things, created this (hence the name, the last object you will need to buy).

LastPad is a convenient and comfortable zero-waste pad. LastPad comes in three sizes, ranging from underwear to overnight, and may be used over 300 times. Each pad comes with an odor-free, water-resistant carrying pouch. Furthermore, they are easy to maintain. Simply wash them in the same manner as your regular clothes.

Ivana Steiner created this zero-waste kitchen design as a fresh approach to living space design that would seek to improve efficiency while keeping the environment in mind. This Zero-Waste Kitchen Design is both efficient and long-lasting. The kitchen is made of recycled stainless steel for added strength, and it includes separate parts for fruit baskets, glass storage containers, a worm box, linen bags, and other items so that everything is kept in one place. A vertical herb garden is also installed in the kitchen to guarantee that fresh ingredients are constantly on hand, thus reducing the need to go to the grocery store for tiny goods.

Steiner went on to explain the zero-waste kitchen design, saying, "Zero Waste does not hope that politics and business will tell you how and when you will implement your environmental measures and goals, but rather that each of us can actively contribute to climate protection through a resource-saving lifestyle. Zero waste not only includes avoiding waste but also how we deal with nutrition and cooking. If we concentrate on fewer, regional foods without packaging, we can actually implement changes in our immediate surroundings."

Even for those who are taking their first steps into a sustainable lifestyle, the built-in herb garden and worm composter make the process incredibly simple – this way, you're set up for success because the upkeep is interwoven into how the kitchen runs. To prevent producing trash in the form of bin liners, this kitchen stores everything in jars. If you take the jars to the grocery store, they are also easier to refill. This was a planned design decision, given that the buying trend is moving toward more unpackaged things, particularly in metropolitan locations where food is stored and sold in glass containers to encourage reuse. Glass jars are also more sanitary than bins since they are tightly sealed.

Because the design is built on a minimalist lifestyle, there are no top cupboards or extra storage in the kitchen. Only the items that you use every day are kept – in the zero-waste kitchen, a restricted number of 12 deep plates, 12 flat plates and 12 small flat plates, 12 water glasses, and 8 wine glasses are used and stored comfortably. There is no dishwasher, but it does have a double sink and a dishtowel rack for all intents and purposes. Dishwashers, on the other hand, have been demonstrated in studies to be more efficient and conserve resources!

Behind the Planet B font, the European-style kitchen features a lot of prep space in the shape of pullout panels, a small oven, and a little freezer. Every feature of the Zero Waste Kitchen is tiny, thoughtful, and purposeful, encouraging a life of fresh food without waste!
